Rules For Safe Operation
Kickback Safety Precautions for Chain Saw Users

CS-3510

KICKBACK may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.

Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast reverse REACTION, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury.

Rotational kickback

The optional Kick GuardTM device is not installed on the guide bar when you purchase your chain saw. The optional Kick GuardTM can be used in a majority of cutting operations, and is especially recommended for beginners, homeowners, or chain saw novices. Most cutting operations can be accomplished with the optional Kick GuardTM in place.

Rotational kickback Chain moving downward at impact

Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

1. With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.

Kickback Danger Zone

CS-3510

SAFETY

2. Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand on the rear handle, and the left hand on the front handle, when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain control of the saw. Don't let go.

3. Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from

Linear kickback

obstructions. Do not let the nose

of the guide bar contact a log,

branch, or any other obstruction

which could be hit while you are

operating the saw.

Kickback

4. Cut at high engine speeds.

Pinch

5. Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.

6. Follow manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.

7. Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or the equivalent.

Correct Use Of Chain Brake

Chain Brake Operation · Set the lever in the unlocked position before starting to cut.

· If the brake is tripped by kickback reaction, the chain will stop immediately. Release the throttle to avoid possible damage to the engine or clutch.

Unlocked

· Do not attempt to operate the engine with the brake locked.

Testing The Brake · Start the engine on a solid level
surface and run at a fast idle until warm.

Locked

· Hold the saw firmly by the handles and accelerate the engine to a fast idle.

SAFETY

CS-3510

· Slowly operate the chain brake lever while holding the saw firmly on the ground. When the brake lever trips, the chain should stop. Immediately release the throttle trigger.

Do not allow the saw to tip forward in order to avoid damage to the chain.
If the chain does not stop immediately, return the saw to your authorized dealer for repair. Note:
· For practice, while cutting a small tree, push the lever forward to lock the brake.
· Confirm that the brake works properly before each use. · If the chain brake is clogged with wood chips, function of the brake may
deteriorate. Always keep the device clean. · Do not increase engine RPM while the chain brake is locked. Do not use a bar and chain combination other than those specified in this manual. For your own safety, do not remove the chain brake system. The installation of a chain brake may be mandatory by law or as stipulated by insurance regulations in your area of operation. You should inquire through local government offices, your employer or your local dealer to ensure that your chain saw conforms to the required safety standard. Chain brakes have been designed and tested to comply with international safety standards as follows: USA: ANSI Standard B175.1 Safety Requirement for chain saws Canada: CSA Standard Z62.1, Z62.3

8

X7503360201

CS-3510
ANSI Standard B175.1 and CSA Z62.1.3 stipulate that the brake shall stop the chain 0.12 seconds at an engine speed of 13,500 r/min. It is the responsibility of the owner/ operator to ensure that the brake is serviced, adjusted and tested strictly in accordance with the instructions as detailed here in order to ensure that the brake performance is maintained in compliance with the Standards B175.1 and CSA Z62.1.3

SAFETY
35 cm (14 in.)

Automatic Chain Brake Kickback produced from the tip of the guide bar will trip the automatic chain brake. To make sure that the automatic chain brake operates properly, follow these steps: 1. Stop the engine. 2. Hold the saw with the guide bar approximately 35 cm (14 inches) above
a wooden surface. Right hand should hold the rear handle, and left hand should hold the front handle. 3. Release the front handle and drop the end of the guide bar against the wooden surface. 4. The impact should lock the chain brake.
When checking the operation of the automatic chain brake, use a soft surface substance like wood to absorb the impact so the chain is not damaged.

SAFETY

CS-3510

Other Safety Precautions
1. Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Serious injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any combination of these persons may result from one-handed operation. A chain saw is intended for twohanded use.
2. Do not operate a chain saw when you are fatigued. 3. Use safety footwear, snug-fitting clothing and protective gloves. Wear
eye, hearing, and head protection devices. 4. Use caution when handling fuel. Move the chain saw at least 3 m (10
feet) from the fueling point before starting the engine. 5. Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw when starting or
cutting with the chain saw. Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area. 6. Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling tree. 7. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is running. 8. Before you start the engine, make sure that the saw chain is not contacting anything. 9. Carry the chain saw with the engine stopped, the guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the muffler away from your body. 10. Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released. 11. Shut off the engine before setting the chainsaw down. 12. Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance. 13. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for spring-back so that you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released. 14. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture. 15. Operate the chainsaw only in well ventilated areas. 16. Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree unless you have been specifically trained to do so. 17. All chain saw service, other than items listed in the Operator's manual maintenance instructions, should be performed by competent service personnel. (For example, if improper tools are used to remove the flywheel or if an improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the flywheel could occur and could subsequently cause the flywheel to burst.)

SAFETY

18. When transporting your chain saw, use the appropriate guide bar scabbard.
19. A spark arrestor muffler approved to SAE Standard J335 is standard on this chain saw to reduce the possibility of forest fires. Do not operate the chain saw with a loose or defective muffler. Do not remove the spark arrestor screen.
20. When using a chainsaw a fire extinguisher should be available. 21. When felling, keep at least 2 tree lengths between yourself and your
fellow workers. 22. Follow instructions in your operator's manual for starting the chain saw. 23. Never adjust the guide bar or sawchain with the engine operating. 24. When boring with the chainsaw, the initial cut should be introduced with
the lower part of the nose (tip) until the hole is sufficiently large so as to introduce the entire nose (tip) of the guide bar. This technique should reduce the danger of kickback. 25. Allow your chainsaw to cool before refueling, and do not smoke while refueling.

Chain saws shall be used in accordance with the operating instructions and safety precautions listed in the operator's manual(s). It shall be the responsibility of the owner to see that such instructions and precautions are given to every operator who uses the saw.

 During operation, the muffler or catalytic muffler and surrounding cover become hot.
 Never suspend the saw on a lanyard with the engine running.
 Always use the saw from the right-hand side of your body ­ NEVER from the left side.
 Always wear proper safety clothing to protect your lower body from sharp saw chain and hot muffler.
 Always keep exhaust area clear of flammable debris during transportation or when storing, otherwise serious property damage or personal injury may result.

Extended Operation / Extreme Conditions

SAFETY

Prolonged exposure to cold and/or vibration can result in injury. Read and follow all safety and operation instructions to minimize risk of injury. Failure to follow instructions can result in painful wrist/hand/arm injuries. It is believed that a condition called Raynaud's Phenomenon, which affects the fingers of certain individuals, may be brought about by exposure to vibration and cold. Exposure to vibration and cold may cause tingling and burning sensations, followed by loss of color and numbness in the fingers. The following precautions are strongly recommended, because the minimum exposure, which might trigger the ailment, is unknown.
· Keep your body warm, especially the head, neck, feet, ankles, hands, and wrists.
· Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous arm exercises during frequent work breaks, and also by not smoking.
· Limit the hours of operation. Try to fill each day with jobs where operating the unit or other hand-held power equipment is not required.
· If you experience discomfort, redness, and swelling of the fingers followed by whitening and loss of feeling, consult your physician before further exposing yourself to cold and vibration.
Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI) It is believed that overusing the muscles and tendons of the fingers, hands, arms, and shoulders may cause soreness, swelling, numbness, weakness, and extreme pain in those areas. Certain repetitive hand activities may put you at a high risk for developing a Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI). An extreme RSI condition is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), which could occur when your wrist swells and squeezes a vital nerve that runs through the area. Some believe that prolonged exposure to vibration may contribute to CTS. CTS can cause severe pain for months or even years.

X7503360201

SAFETY

CS-3510

To reduce the risk of RSI/CTS, do the following: · Avoid using your wrist in a bent,
extended, or twisted position. Instead try to maintain a straight wrist position. Also, when grasping, use your whole hand, not just the thumb and index finger. · Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest your hands. · Reduce the speed and force with which you do the repetitive movement. · Do exercises to strengthen the hand and arm muscles. · Immediately stop using all power equipment and consult a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness, or pain in the fingers, hands, wrists, or arms. The sooner RSI/CTS is diagnosed, the more likely permanent nerve and muscle damage can be prevented.

All over head electrical conductors and communications wires can have electricity flow with high voltages. This unit is not insulated against electrical current. Never touch wires directly or indirectly, otherwise serious injury or death can result.
Do not operate this product indoors or in inadequately ventilated areas. Engine exhaust contains poisonous emissions and can cause serious injury or death.

OPERATION

Fuel Requirements Gasoline - Use fresh (purchased within the last 30 days from the pump) 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known to be good quality. Gasoline may contain up to 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing methanol (wood alcohol) is NOT approved. Use of ECHO branded fuel is recommended to extend engine life in all air-cooled 2-stroke and 2/4-stroke hybrid engines. Two Stroke Oil - A two-stroke engine oil, such as ECHO branded 2-stroke oils, meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. FD Standards must be used. ECHO branded 2-stroke oils meet these standards. Engine problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-LEGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. M345-FD certified oil will void the twostroke engine warranty.

2-Stroke engine oil contains petroleum distillates and other additives that may be harmful if swallowed. Heated oil can release vapors that can cause flash fire, or ignite with explosive force. Read and follow the oil manufacturer's instructions, and observe all safety warnings and precautions for handling flammable liquids. For more detailed safety and first aid information, visit www.echo-usa.com for a copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet.
 KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.  If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. CALL PHYSICIAN OR
A POISON CONTROL CENTER IMMEDIATELY.  WEAR SAFETY GLASSES when mixing or handling.  AVOID repeated or prolonged skin contact.  AVOID inhaling oil mists or vapors.
ECHO branded 2-stroke oils may be mixed at 50:1 ratio for application in all ECHO engines sold in the past regardless of ratio specified in those manuals.
Handling Fuel

Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling, or serious personal injury will result.

OPERATION

CS-3510

 Use an approved fuel container. Mark fuel containers as containing 2-stroke mixture fuel.
 DO NOT smoke near fuel.  DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.  Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen
fuel caps slowly allowing pressure to equalize.  NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT or RUNNING!  DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks
outdoors over bare ground.  DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Wipe up spills immediately.  Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container
after refueling.  Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not
start or operate unit until leakage is repaired.  Move at least 3 m (10 ft.) from refueling location before
starting the engine.

Gasoline vapor is heavier than air, and can travel along the ground to nearby sources of ignition such as electrical motors, pilot lights, and hot or running engines. Vapors ignited by an ignition source can flash back to the fuel container, resulting in an explosion, fire, serious or fatal injuries, and extensive property damage.
Mixing Instructions

Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in 30 days, 90 days when a fuel stabilizer is added.

1. Fill an approved fuel container with half of the required amount of gasoline.
2. Add the proper amount of 2-stroke oil to gasoline.
3. Close container and shake to mix oil with gasoline.

protect against objectionable or uncomfortable loud

noises.

 Do not let the tip of the

bar touch anything while

the engine is running. At

cutting speed the chain is

moving at a high rate of

speed. Should the tip contact a limb or log while

Kickback

the chain is moving, the

tip will be pushed upward

with considerable force.

This is known as kickback. Avoid it!

In all circumstances the operation of the chain saw is a one-man job. It is difficult at times to take care for your own safety, so don't assume the responsibility for a helper as well. After you have learned the basic techniques of using the saw, your best aid will be your own good common sense.

The accepted way to hold the saw is to stand to the left of the saw with your left hand on the front handle and your right hand on the rear handle so you can operate the throttle trigger with your right index finger. Before attempting to fell a tree, cut some small logs or limbs. Become thoroughly familiar with the controls and the responses of the saw.

Start the engine, see that it is running properly. Squeeze the trigger to open the throttle wide open and start the cut. If the chain is properly sharpened, the cutting should be relatively effortless. It is not necessary to press down hard to make the saw cut. Pushing the saw too hard will slow the engine and cutting will actually be more difficult.

OPERATION

Sap from palm trees may corrode metal parts unless proper saw maintenance is performed. Make sure to clean metal parts from palm sap immediately after use. · Remove sprocket cover. Clean wood chips and sawdust from cover and
engine crankcase. · Never use metal tools for cleaning which can scratch the metal paint and
allow corrosion to develop. · Clean sap accumulation from metal parts with cloth and warm water with
soap. · Rinse with clean water and dry metal surfaces. · Apply a light coating of engine or bar and chain oil to metal parts after
they are cleaned. · Install and properly tension guide bar and chain. Run engine for one
minute alternating engine speed between full throttle for 5 seconds and idle for 5 seconds to coat metal parts with additional protective chain oil.
 Do not run a chainsaw not under cutting load at wide open throttle longer than 5 seconds or engine damage can occur.
 Keep chain properly tensioned during operation to prevent the chain from jumping out of the guide bar rail slot and damaging metal engine parts.
Felling The Tree
A falling tree can seriously damage anything it may hit - a car, a house, a fence, a power line, or another tree. There are ways to make a tree fall where you want it, so first decide where that is!

OPERATION

CS-3510

Before cutting, clear the area around the tree. You will need good footing while working and you should be able to work the saw without hitting any obstacles. Next, select a path of retreat. When the tree begins to fall you should retreat away from the direction of fall at a 45-degree angle and at least 3 m (10 feet) from the trunk to avoid the trunk kicking back over the stump.

Limbing Limbing a fallen tree is much the same as bucking. Never stand on the tree that you are limbing. When limbing, caution is the word. Be careful of the tip touching other limbs. Always use both hands.
Don't cut with the saw overhead or aligned vertically with your body. If the saw should kickback, you may not have enough control to prevent possible injury.

OPERATION

Bucking Bucking is the sawing of a log or fallen tree into smaller pieces. There are a few basic rules which apply to all bucking operations. · Keep both hands on the handles
at all times. · Support logs if possible. · When cutting on a slope or
hillside, always stand uphill.

Keep in mind that the wood is heavy and that it will bend and pinch the saw if improperly supported. The trunk will weaken at the point where you make the cut unless the tree is lying on perfectly flat ground or supported as shown. If you make the cut with the tree on the ground, don't let the saw's chain dig into the earth; it is harmful for the saw, and you stand a good chance of being struck by flying debris.

When the bar nose hits another tree, etc.

To cut the trunk, use the bucking and two-cut sequence shown. The first cut should be no deeper than one-third the trunk diameter.

Important points for proper maintenance of saw chain: · Keep the cutters sharp at all times. · Keep the left and the right cutters properly aligned. · Note that blunt or irregular cutters will result in poor cutting performance,
increased vibration of chains and premature breakage of the saw chain. · Drive link serves to remove
sawdust from the groove of the guide bar. Keep the lower edge of the drive link sharp where indicated.
